Boris wins?

Yesterday, the UKGuardian assured me that the "youth vote" (and they mean "youths" up to age 40) are being overlooked by the reports and will vote en mass against Boris and the Conservatives in the UK because they "loathe" him and his "racist" message.

the NYTimes had a similar hopeful message.

and today? WTF?

Boris (and Brexit) won by a large margin.

One clue that voters might be annoyed at the shennanigans of the politicians could be seen in the reports of long lines for voting.

if people are pleased with the government, or if they think their vote doesn't matter to those in power, they stay home. I mean, folks have a life.

But apparently folks have had it and got off their duffs to vote, because they cared this time and thought their opinions might be followed.

And the fact that the MSM in the UK didn't pick up that discontent among ordinary folks says a lot.

and why the caricature of Boris as Churchill? Because he wrote a book about Churchill. Actually he wrote quite a few books in between bonking lovely ladies and pulling stunts that get in the headlines.

here he faces Professor Mary Beard in a debate of Greece vs Rome.
